Refining Fire Lord God

He had still oversimplified things.

His strength wasn't enough, not only failing to get revenge but also causing his home plane to face a new crisis once again.

Truly...

As Roy was lamenting his own misfortune, a spatial rift tore through the air in front of his head, and a semi-transparent crystal diamond emitting a purple halo dropped from it.

"Lord Godhead!"

"The Lord Godhead has appeared!"

Those who were fighting, upon seeing the Lord Godhead, all dropped their opponents and flew towards it.

But immediately, their expressions changed drastically.

"Hahahaha..."

"Let's all die together!"

Under their terrified gazes, Roy quickly used his divine power to restore half of his body. A drop of blood was sprinkled from his fingertip onto the purple-haloed Lord Godhead.

"Damn it, he wants to take us all down with him!"

"Which madman provoked this?"

"It's hopeless, we're all going to die..."

Under their terrified gazes, Roy's drop of blood fell onto the purple-haloed Lord Godhead and instantly merged into it.

The next moment, this death-element Lord Godhead transformed into a stream of light and burrowed into Roy's head, replacing his Godhead.

"Rumble..."

An endless pressure emanated from Roy's body. With the help of the Lord Godhead, Roy's soul power quickly drew a portion of the Sovereign Power from the elemental ocean, rapidly restoring his divine body.

"We... we're not dead?"

When a plane collapses, everything within the material plane instantly crumbles, annihilated by the endless spatial turbulence.

But then, their faces became even more fearful.

The descent of a Lord God into a material plane would cause it to instantly collapse.

Yet, the death-element High-level God before them, after refining the Lord Godhead, had not caused the plane to collapse.

There was only one explanation for this situation—

This High-level God was a native being of this material plane!

"I've become a Lord God?"

Feeling the immense willpower within the Lord Godhead, and the death-element Sovereign Power absorbed through it, Roy himself was somewhat stunned.

In his past life, he had indeed been an ordinary person from the Crimson Flame Plane. After death, he had reincarnated into the Undead Realm within the Netherworld and had long since lost track of whether he was a being of the Netherworld or from the Crimson Flame Plane.

Before refining this death-element Lord Godhead, Roy had indeed intended to perish along with everyone else.

But he hadn't expected that the Crimson Flame Plane would still consider Roy a being of its own plane. Roy becoming a Lord God had not caused the Crimson Flame Plane to collapse.

"Spare my life, Lord God, spare my life!"

These High-level Gods, looking at Roy who exuded endless might, all knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, their pleas did not soften Roy's heart in the slightest.

In an instant, Roy's divine sense enveloped the entire Crimson Flame Plane.

"Die!"

His majestic voice, imbued with immense willpower, caused all the gods locked by Roy's divine sense to instantly have their souls annihilated, losing all signs of life.

Roy stood at the highest point of the Crimson Flame Plane. Everything he perceived within his divine sense made him deeply regret his previous impulsiveness.

If he hadn't gone to hunt those High-level Gods for revenge back then, the High-level Gods in this plane wouldn't have engaged in a frenzied battle, causing the people of the Crimson Flame Plane to suffer another catastrophe.

"Right, the Undead Realm!"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Roy's mind.

Beings below the Divine level, after death, would reincarnate into the Undead Realm, becoming the lowest-tier undead.

These undead grew to the Saint Realm by killing each other and plundering their opponents' souls. If they could comprehend the Death Law and become gods, they could awaken memories from their past lives and live again.

At that moment, Roy directly tore through the space of the Crimson Flame Plane. From the spatial turbulence, he identified the direction and flew towards the Netherworld.

However, as he passed through the Infernal Realm, a supreme plane, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of Roy. A hand reached out from the rift, and in its palm emitted a white halo.

"Danger!"

The moment he saw the white halo, Roy felt a powerful threat, as if touching that halo would lead to a life-or-death crisis.

Immediately, Roy unleashed his fastest speed.

But it seemed to be too late.

The white halo suddenly expanded outwards, mixing with four colors: cyan, red, blue, and yellow.

It might have been an illusion from Refining Fire, but he felt a faint purple aura being born from the four mixed colors.

Then…

As if it were the end of the world, the world within this white halo, under this faint purple aura, was like a bubble, silently and completely vanishing without a trace.

This terrifying annihilating power, after destroying the world within the light membrane, leaked outwards. Even the spatial turbulence in the vicinity was scattered, forming a massive void in space.

"Pfft…"

An aftershock reached Refining Fire, instantly disintegrating his divine body.

If he hadn't made a decisive move and self-detonated his body at that very moment, sending his head flying far away, he would have likely perished in that aftershock.

Even so, Refining Fire's head suffered severe damage. The purple halo of the Death-element Lord Godhead within his head was already escaping through the cracks in his skull.

After an unknown period of unconsciousness, Refining Fire finally regained his senses.

"So terrifying, who was that?"

He barely used the Sovereign Power from his Lord Godhead to restore his divine body, Refining Fire was filled with dread.

He had thought that becoming a Lord God meant he was invincible.

He never expected that just after becoming a Lord God, he would almost lose his life.

Although Refining Fire knew there were different levels among Lord Gods when he was refining the Lord Godhead.

However, there were only three levels among Lord Gods.

Low-level Lord God, Mid-level Lord God, and High-level Lord God.

Refining Fire had refined a Death-element Mid-level Lord Godhead.

According to the information stored in the Lord Godhead, there were only eleven High-level Lord Godheads.

They were the undisputed rulers of the seven God Planes and the Four Supreme Planes!

In other words, the only ones who could pose a threat to him were those eleven individuals who had obtained High-level Lord Godheads. Then, could the person from just now be Destruction Sovereign Utred from the Infernal Realm?

With reverence for the High-level Lord Gods, Refining Fire didn't dare to look back. He avoided the spatial turbulence of the Infernal Realm from a distance, taking a wide detour, and flew towards the Netherworld through the spatial turbulence on the side of the Heavenly Realm.

This time, Refining Fire didn't encounter any other crises. He quickly sliced open the spatial rift of the Netherworld and entered it.

...

"Huh? A Lord God has entered the Netherworld? And it's a Lord God of the Death element?"

In the Lord God Palace on Netherworld Mountain, the Death Sovereign's expression shifted slightly.

Possessing the supreme treasure, the Netherworld Heart, not a single ripple in the Netherworld could escape the Death Sovereign's notice. However, ordinary matters rarely piqued her interest.

But a newly appeared Mid-level Lord God of the Death element, whom no one knew about, did arouse a sliver of curiosity in the Death Sovereign.

At that moment, the Death Sovereign saw Refining Fire's presence through the Netherworld Heart.

"Oh? He's actually heading to the Undead Realm, this is interesting."

A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of the Death Sovereign's mouth.

It was true that Lord Gods of the Death element could distinguish the past lives of beings who reincarnated from the material planes to the Undead Realm through the Death Lord Godhead.

But that was only possible when the Death Lord Godhead utilized the power of the Netherworld Heart.

The Netherworld Heart was the Death Sovereign's supreme treasure. If she didn't want anyone to sense something through the Netherworld Heart, that Death-element Lord God would instantly lose that ability.

Upon sensing through the Netherworld Heart what this newly appeared Lord God intended to do, the Death Sovereign's expression turned cold. She immediately severed the Lord God's connection to sentient beings.

"What's going on?"

Refining Fire reached out his hand, immense Sovereign Power surging in his palm, his mind filled with confusion.

He could clearly sense millions of undead from the endless sea of undead below, who had reincarnated into the Undead Realm from the Crimson Flame Plane. But just as he was about to act and extract these undead individually, he lost that sensation?

"Hmph!"

At this moment, a cold snort sounded in Refining Fire's ear. An immense pressure forced Refining Fire to kneel in the void.

"This…"

Refining Fire was greatly alarmed. This power, so strong that it prevented him from even moving, was definitely another Sovereign.

He had just survived a Sovereign, and now he had provoked another one?

What, aren't all Lord Gods invincible, supreme beings?

Why did it feel like danger was coming one after another after he became a Lord God?

Are all Lord Gods this dangerous?

No wonder so many Lord Gods had fallen.

Will I be the next Lord God to fall?

"I was wondering who was being so unruly, turns out it's a newly born Lord God."

A spatial rift appeared in front of Refining Fire, and the Death Sovereign, with red hair and purple robes, emerged from the rift.

"Refining Fire greets you, my lord."

Withdrawing its pressure, the Death Sovereign's clear and cold voice rang out, "Considering this is your first offense, I will not pursue it this time."

"Should there be a next time, I will permanently strip you of your right to investigate the past identities of the undead. Do you understand?"

As soon as the Death Sovereign finished speaking, Refining Fire instantly felt that he could once again sense the past identities of the undead in the sea of undead below.

"Thank you, my lord."

After respectfully saluting the Death Sovereign, Refining Fire stood up. He hesitated for a moment before finally asking the Death Sovereign, "May I ask, my lord, what taboo did I commit earlier that made you so angry?"

"Heh..."

The Death Sovereign chuckled. "You were trying to single out all the undead from a plane, weren't you?"

"Yes."

"Do you know what kind of place the Undead Realm is?"

"I do. It is the destination for souls of beings below the God level from the endless planes after they die."

"That's right. In the endless planes, all beings who have not become gods are given a chance at a second life in the Undead Realm. Everything here follows the rules of equality for all things, from the lowest-level Rank 1 undead all the way up to Saint Realm undead, each has its own space to survive."

"Starting from Rank 1 undead, they will break through their limits through countless battles and then fight in the space of the next level."

"Your previous actions have already violated the rules of fairness and equality in the Undead Realm."

"This time, seeing as you are a newly promoted Lord God and were unaware of the rules here, I have decided to be lenient."

"Next time, I will directly strip you of your authority to investigate the past identities of the undead."

"Yes, my lord."

Refining Fire respectfully bowed and thanked the Death Sovereign.

"Alright, as a Lord God, you do have some privileges. As long as it doesn't exceed ten people in ten million years, I won't interfere with you."

After speaking, the Death Sovereign tore open a spatial rift and prepared to return to its palace.

However, having finally encountered a powerful senior Lord God, Refining Fire quickly sought guidance from the Death Sovereign.

"My lord, may I ask if there are any other taboos among Lord Gods?"

"Taboos? What taboos could there possibly be among Lord Gods?"

"However, there are a few agreements among Lord Gods."

After speaking, the Death Sovereign directly explained the three agreements among Lord Gods and the Infernal Realm.

"After hearing these agreements, are you feeling relieved?"

"But on account of you being a Lord God of my Death lineage, I will give you a reminder: don't take this agreement too seriously. Otherwise, any other Sovereign could find an excuse to kill you. As long as the reason is plausible, we Four Rule Sovereigns won't bother to avenge you."

"Besides, even if we killed the other party and avenged you, you, who are already dead, would gain nothing."

"Yes, Refining Fire thanks the Sovereign for the reminder."

"Sovereign, I wonder if Refining Fire is honored to become a Lord God under your command and receive your protection?"

After hearing the Death Sovereign's explanation, Refining Fire decided to latch onto the Death Sovereign.

This was one of the four most powerful Rule Sovereigns who had established the Lord God agreements.

If he gained this lord's protection, others would have to avoid angering the Death Sovereign if they wanted to find an excuse to kill him.

At that point, it would be anyone's guess who would end up dead.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to join my ranks?"

"Although you are a Lord God of the Death lineage, there is no rule among Lord Gods that dictates that Lord Gods of a certain lineage must obey the commands of that lineage's Sovereign."

"For instance, under the Destiny Sovereign Off, there are Lord Gods of Earth, Wind Element, and Fire Element who have pledged allegiance."

"Wouldn't you want to learn more about the other Sovereigns before making a decision?"

"No need."

Lord God Refining Fire shook his head.

The Death Sovereign was already a paramount figure at the pinnacle of Lord Gods. Aligning himself with her was the best choice.

"Alright, on the grounds of us both being Death Sovereigns, I accept your allegiance."

"Feel free to find a continent in the Netherworld that is not presided over by a Lord God and claim it as your territory. Don't bother me unless it's necessary."

"Yes, thank you, Sovereign."

"Oh, right, my lord. In the Infernal Realm, is there a Sovereign whose attack looks like this?"

Seeing that the Death Sovereign was about to leave, Lord God Refining Fire quickly described the hand and the white halo he had seen in the spatial turbulence.
